I'm in Perth, just holidayed in Brisbane Nov 22. Perth has a small homeless problem in the CBD (small compared to Melbourne) with no apparent pushback by authorities to contain /help or move them on. Brisbane has a much more visible police presence in the CBD and the homeless seem to be contained a few streets away from the casino. Just an observation of a few days being a tourist, but Brisbane CBD "feels" safer than Perth CBD, but I've never had any problems in Perth having lived here over 50 years.

As a retiree for a number of years, I moved to Western Australia in 2021 from Canberra (yes did the COVID19 Quarantine etc, etc.etc). along with moving my dog across Australia. I sold my ex house and purchased a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in one of the coastal suburbs of Perth about 55 kms south. Having lived in Perth as a child, I always wanted to move back to Perth as it was the first part of Australia my family experienced having migrated from England. A 10 minute walk to the beach, 45 minute train journey to the City CBD and I am totally living the dream. Brisbane is not for me, floods, cyclones, humidity, yuck yuck yuck. Most of your video confirms and house prices are cheaper, cost of living is not too bad and the lifestyle is relaxed and lots of things to see and do. Lots of people are buying up investment properties or making the move to the West. Isolation is not a problem, like living anywhere you get used to where you live over time. Anyway an interesting video based on your experiences, but Perth is the winner for me.

You can earn big money in WA due to mining. Less distance flying to Europe, Singapore, Africa, India, and Perth's favourite holiday spot Bali. It's cheap to fly there. Perth has been having a massive update over the past 5 years. Billions have been spent on improving and new infrastructure. It is a new modern up-dating city. WA is a prosperous state and has the money to improve. The only problem is people are moving to WA faster and services have difficulty keeping up with the volume of newcomers most from Europe and internal migration. Possibly Perth has the cleanest air most days of any modern state in the world. Our worst days are when it is decided to do bush backburning. WA population 2.667 million (Sep 2020). Perth population on 30th June 2022 is 2,225,710. Mil. WA population growth is approx 3% per year.

These days all people talk about is climate. When I travelled in the 1980’s you went were the work was, no matter the climate.

Lived in both. Both nice and similar, but Brisbane and SE Queensland has more to offer. Brisbane is more expensive compared to Perth’s cheaper housing but that is driven by Queenslands post Covid population growth and popularity. Easy to pop to Sydney in a hour and a half or even Fiji or skiing in NZ in three hours.

I've had my heart set on Perth for a few years. I'm originally from the UK, currently living in Melbourne. I've been to sydney for a visit, but other than that, I haven't been anywhere else in Aus. I like certain aspects of Melbourne, but I hate the weather here. Very cold winters and inconsistent summer, so far. Also, I'm underwhelmed by the beaches surrounding the city. Thank you for your helpful comparison video. Both Brisbane and Perth sound amazing, but I think I have a bit more of a draw towards Perth. Also, I think I like the idea of it being so isolated.

I think Philippines wins it hands down about beaches.

Perth is only "hot" for about 3 months of the year, it has a very mediterranean climate for about 4-5 months and is cold for 4-5 months. Brisbane feels hot for about 6 months of the year. It is easier to cool off in Perth. Perth is much easier to get around in; people spend far less time on a commute - there is also an excellent public transport (buses, trains) system tied in closely to the highway and freeway system. I have lived for many years in both cities. As far as beaches go there is just no comparison and you are only a max of 30 minutes away from a beach anywhere in Perth. House prices are only very high in both cities if you have a desperate need to live near to the CBD's and are very reasonable if you live 30-40 minutes drive away from work. The houses are much "prettier" in Brisbane, but as the lady says, they are far more expensive in Brissy. I think Brisbane is more suited to young couples who don't have children. Perth is extremely child friendly and there's much less stress on family life. The biggest downside to Perth is the feeling that you are two-dimensionally trapped between the hills and the sea. However, you just have to drive a couple of hours either north or south and you are met with the most incredible expanse of Australian nature. Perth is also amazingly close to Asia. 4 hours gets you to Singapore and about 3 hours to Bali. As you can see from some of the comments there is a fair bit of prejudice from eastern state people towards people from Perth. Some of this may originate in WA's attempt to secede from Australia in I think the 1930's (the only reason this did not happen was because the British government just ignored the referendum result). Perhaps as a consequence of this "attitude" I think Perth and WA people have great resilience and independence in how they approach the idea of what it means to be an Australian. I personally couldn't give two stuffs for any of that childish parochialism. WA is about 1/3 of the landmass of Australia (which is the same size as the contiguous USA) with only about 2.5 million people. Let that sink in.

No problem. I live in Sydney now.

I was born in Perth, but spent 10 years on the eastern seaboard of the country, which included 3 years in the Brisbane area. It would be correct to say I'm prejudiced when it comes to a choice, but it would also be correct to say that I feel justified in my reasoning when promoting Perth as the premier city of the two for a whole raft of reasons. It is telling that when deciding to raise a family my first thoughts was to return to Perth as the preferred option for child rearing. For a start, while the climate may entertain similar temperatures, you get NOTHING like the humidity of Brisbane in Perth. You also don't get hail the size of golf balls. I once saw a 5 min hail storm do over $3 million damage to an airfield in Brisbane. You can swim in the waters off Perth without worrying about jellyfish that can kill. Sharks, yes, but they occur in both areas. Nor do we have a Fraser Island with dingoes running rampant. The Quokkas may give you a cheeky grin though... There is way more to Perth than beaches and pretty scenery; if you think otherwise then you really haven't bothered to look. In the main I have found Perth people to be more generous of heart than Brisbanites. Evidence of this, for example, is the longest running Telethon on television when compared to ..... literally anywhere else on earth! Every single year since it's inception has seen record levels of donations. My own experience of living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast has been that people are OK so long as you have a buck in your pocket.

Brisbane and Perth have different climates. Brisbane has a subtropical climate with hot and humid summers, while Perth has a Mediterranean climate that is a bit cooler and drier . Brisbane experiences more humidity compared to Perth. The winters in Brisbane are shorter than in Perth, and Brisbane is more sheltered from the cold than other southern capitals. Perth has hotter, drier summers than Brisbane with less humidity but more wind. Conversely, Brisbane has warmer, drier winters than Perth. Both cities get plenty of sunshine throughout the year, and Brisbane gets heavier downpours of rain. For a detailed comparison of the weather in Brisbane and Perth, you can refer to this [source].

Perth is a big city full of small towns. The small town feel is very pronounced. When people say how are you going, they really what's to know.

One interesting fact i found about Brisbane and the entire east coast of Australia is that it's winter months are actually sunnier percentage wise than it's summer months. This only really happens on the east coast of Australia and east coast of South Africa so quite unique.

The West is best ..love the east coast it's amazing but overpopulated.

Born and raised in Adelaide and having lived in all of Australia's capital cities, Perth is no way the windiest city in Australia or the world. I once lived in Melbourne for 6 months, and that is hands down the windiest city in Australia. The reason why the rumour spread of Perth being windy is because of the "Fremantle Doctor" a strong, cool breeze that comes off the south west Indian Ocean in the summer time afternoons. I have lived 5 minutes from the coast for most of my 23 years in Perth, and it is either dead calm or gently breezy most of the year. The "Fremantle Doctor" is a cool, welcoming breeze that is soothing and cooling on summer afternoons. If you are on certain beaches during summer afternoons, it feels more like a wind. But it's no way like Melbourne, which is windy anywhere you go at any time of the year.

No mention of Fremantle?

Perth is the sunniest city in the world and the third windiest. That wind is caused by the heat rising off the desert during the day. Its not as pronounced in winter. That wind is also why the best sailors come from perth. The big upside is perth is not disgustingly humid like brisbane. We have mosquitos but nothing like brisbane. Perth is also on asia’s timezone and - heres what eastern staters often overlook - is far closer to asia. Perth may be the most isolated capital city in the world but the melbourne sydney brisbane triangle is actually more isolated than perth. The worst thing about perth is that while it is easiest the best place to raise a family career opportunities tend to be a bit limited since the city is very focussed on mining and mining industry services.

I only spent 13 years in Brissie and left in 2010 so take this for what you will. IMO, SE Qld has been a victim of it's own success and many people trying to escape the problems of our larger cities bought those problems with them. Traffic and youth crime aren't unique to Brisbane or the Gold Coast, but throw in the housing crisis and any future 'refugees' really need to temper their expectations. On the positive side, that skyline does look great during Riverfire.

Anywhere near a train station. For Perth I'll specifically single out South Fremantle, Victoria Park, Canning Bridge precinct, anywhere along the Fremantle Line, and funny enough parts of the suburb of Perth, and East Perth

Local Government (Council): Unlike Sydney/Melbourne/Perth/Adelaide, Brisbane City Council controls a larger portion of its metropolitan area. Brisbane City Council is Australia's largest council by population with over 1million living within the Brisbane City Council boundaries. The Brisbane City Council has a larger operating budget (over $1billion) to manage water, waste and other council services. The Brisbane City Council operates over 500 suburban buses making Brisbane City Council the busiest and largest council in terms of service and infrastructure operations.

You can also fly to other towns within Western Australia 1-3hour flights both north & south of WA to explore 1000’s of great tourist attractions, you could do family holidays 4x per year for 5 years without leaving WA & see something new each time.

I am from Perth but have lived in Brisbane for 22 years. Very similar feel, both friendly and I love them both the same. I lived in Sydney for 6 months and left in that time and went back to Brisbane. Sydney was not for me.

Stop Responding According to a survey conducted by Canstar Blue in August 2023, the average weekly grocery bill for Australian households is $160 1.

6:14 As a Brisbane local I can confirm the sun sets a bit earlier than Perth, during summer, for sure. In Winter it's even more extreme... you end your day shift at 5pm and then start going home and it goes from day to night in about 10 mins. The sun ain't got no time for Brisbane during winter. The sun is all like, "screw you guys, I'm getting home, before you lot... laterz." 😂

The temperature in Perth can reach 45- 46 degrees in summer & that's normal. 31 degrees is more like our spring season.There is a period in summer that it is humid like Brisbane due to the cyclones up north. Autumn is our windy season not summer. We have Rottnest island.

Interesting comments regarding floods in Brisbane, Brisbane does have floods however it doesn t flood everywhere, Perth is prone to bush fires and has recently had serious fires, its a tradeoff in some ways. Brisbane is a huge city geographically one of the largest cities on the planet, 15,826 sq kilometers, so to take figures and apply temps, rain, nightime temps and compare is inaccurate as there is a fair variation in rainfall, temps, humidity and geography. Perth is comparatively smaller at 6,418 sq kilometers. Both are great cities to live in, the beaches of far Northern NSW, Gold Coast and Sunshine coast are superb and compare with any on the planet. Perth also has great beaches nort and south. Areas to the Nth, Sth and west of Brisbane are beautiful with a huge variety of terrain, the Scenic Rim area to the SW area of Brisbane was named as one of the top 10 places to visit in the world by Lonely Planet recently. I found Perth more isolated, From Brisbane cheap and easy flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, Cairns, Townsville etc anywhere other than SE Asia is an expensive flight from Perth. Very long drive to visit other Australian cities and states from Perth. Flights to New Zealand very inexpensive from Brisbane and Gold Coast Perth and Brisbane are both set on excellent rivers with lots to do. Lots of English and expat South Africans congregate in Perth, Brisbane somewhat more cosmopolitan in my opinion. I prefer Brisbane hinterland lifestyle, and the easy access to the very varied areas of the Eastern states personally but everyone will have their bias. Just my take!

I've never really noticed Perth being particularly windy.

The most important factor is the composition of the air in a particular spot -- the percent of deadly carbon monoxide, and of other gases and particles, for example coal dust. Any report ought to feature this knowledge above all other bits of information.

I'm a QLDer but really enjoyed my Perth days. I think Perth is better overall, only detractors is it's geographically isolated, even in timezone differences, therefore collaborations with other Aus cities are a bit more difficult. The colder, wetter winters were very different, as was the 4pm "Fremantle Doctor". QLD has fallen behind due to a faulty Premier and very conservative government, not adaptable at all to what the Australian people want.
